Only found on SE during heatwaves. Can cook raw meat in its inventory and smelt raw metal. Also, Jeremy just announced it will be ridable ?

Hotter than a Hot Pocket straight out of the microwave. Melts ore and cooks your meat!

You can get it to spawn next to your base because of the following: It always respawns at it's last location, so if the heatwave ends while you are following it you will know where it is for the next heatwave. It also chases you when you eat flowers... hint hint

Upvote if you think the Phoenix should be able to incubate eggs to 1% when you put fertilized eggs in its inventory.

Find a phenix during a heatwave and follow it until it ends. The phenix will turn into ashes and land on the ground but will spawn right back at the same exact spot during the next heatwave. Build a trap 6 blocks high so I can't glitch out and you have yourself a trapped phenix to tame:)

It's little kick attack can be used to mine any ore node effectively which is the best for metal seance it can smelt metals four at a time with no other resources, they also need sulfur to eat, can be healed with fire, and poop silica pearls.

Fun fact! You can tame the Phoenix by hitting it with a torch so you don’t have to waste you’re time shooting it and missing and what not just wanted to help everyone out because this creature is definitely something worth getting

Although it doesn't land, the Phoenix regains stamina by flying idle in the air, ridden or not. It craps silica pearls, eats sulphur, and its C gathers like an axe. Hold space for its dash, right click for the fireball, and everything but the C ignites people aflame. It can smelt and cook stuff, but sadly charcoal don't happen when you put wood in it. DISSAPOINTMENT : IMMEASURABLE

So can we just wack it with an ascendant touch untill it's tamed?

Not only can cook meat and burn metal,mine had hide and oil in its inventory and it created gasoline.

It introduced a new taming method,while not the pseudo-boss we prayed 4 but to tame it u set it on fire with flame arrow,flame throweror a fire Wyvern,they only spawn during heat waves.keep this in mind.

Whoo hooo! I'm the first to write a tip on encountering!
It's only found during heat waves on scorched, probably just spawns anytime on modded maps in a few days.

The Phoenix eats sulfur only sulfur and nothing but sulfur so just keeput that in mind after you tame one.

Only appear in heat waves, reappear in the same spot they were last heat wave, taming carries over from heat wave to heat wave. Possible taming methods include using a griffin and a flame thrower, tapping its pile of ashes in between heat waves, and chasing it down with a fire wyvern.

On scorched, be sure you have full ghillie(heat) and a jerboa(super easy tame) to notify you of weather events. Phoenix only comes during heat wave so listen for “high pitch purr” from your jerboa. Search the map and find this awesome bird! Once that’s done just wait and see where it despawns when heat wave is over. You will see a glowing light on the ground. BUILD A PEN AT LEAST 6 WALLS HIGH AND 6 WALLS WIDE AROUND THAT SPOT. Reason is it tends to respawn above the ground since it never lands. Next heat wave, pray your calculations are correct and it’s trapped! After that just use a flame thrower OR fire wyvern to burn the Phoenix for tame. Again, this thing only spawns during heat waves so be efficient!

Use fire wyvern to tame it...Hard to use fire weapons as it doesn't seem to land

Can be ridden without a saddle, has a fireball attack, a dash attack that burns everything near it, a bite attack, and a talon attack.

Only one wild Phoenix will spawn at a time per map.

Fastest flyer around when using spacebar, quite iod at farming obsidian and sulfur with its C; also it craps pearls because its fabulous

The higher the damage of the weapon the faster it tames, so attacking stat on wyverns matters when taming, and the damage percent of the weapon firing the fire arrow, and the dmg percent of the flame thrower also matters
